Book Synopsis



The Leo Asker series, which will have you "hooked from the very first page" (Kyle Mills, #1 New York Timesbestselling author), continues with this second installment following wayward detective Leonore Asker on a chilling new murder case.

Detective Leonore Asker has just settled in as head of the Department of Lost Souls, a unit for odd cases, when her father contacts her after years of silence. A body has been found on his farm and, as the main suspect, he is desperate for Leo's help. But is her father as innocent as he claims or is he trying to reel Leo into his grip once again?

Meanwhile, Martin Hill moves to a secluded estate to write a biography about the business leader Gunnar Irving, intrigued by the fact that the legendary property contains an abandoned astronomical observatory. Soon, Hill discovers that the area has more stories to offer...about mysterious lights and mutilated bodies. While Asker and Hill try to find answers, the Glass Man rises from the depths of darkness from which no one ever returns. Nobody but him.



Review Quotes




*Praise for THE MOUNTAIN KING by Anders de la Motte*

"A masterful thriller that succeeds on all levels: absorbing, deftly-plotted, bone-chilling. Leonore Asker takes her place at the front of the line of Swedish crime solvers: awkward, headstrong, unstoppable. I honestly read the last 100 pages with the hair on my arms standing on edge."-- Andrew Gross, New York Times bestselling author of The Fifth Column

"Superb...De la Motte nimbly juggles a substantial cast as his plot grows increasingly intricate, ratcheting suspense to near-unbearable heights. This crackerjack page-turner will keep readers up late."-- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)"

"The twisty, spine-tingling mystery that unfolds is creepy and sinister, laced with a touch of dark Scandinavian folklore."--Willy Williams "firstCLUE "

"THE MOUNTAIN KING is Nordic crime fiction at its best: addictive, eerie and hauntingly atmospheric (fans of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo will devour it). Leonore Asker, and the wonderfully named 'Department of Lost Souls', are fascinating and unpredictable. This is the new series you need in your life. EXCEPTIONAL."-- Will Dean, bestselling author of The Last to Burn

"Unsettling. De la Motte had me hooked from the very first page."-- Kyle Mills, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Code Red
